Hotkeys should simply be enabled for everyone.
Original Tibia 7.4 was a completely different game. Back then, players used far fewer runes, combat was slower, and mouse-based gameplay actually matched the game’s pace. Medivia today is not that game anymore. At high levels, gameplay is constant rune spam, fast reactions, and heavy action per second, yet the hotkey system does not match this reality at all.
Ironically, hotkeys are the main reason I came back to Medivia. Restricting transfers or creating artificial barriers because of hotkey differences is just unnecessary and frankly stupid. It doesn’t protect “old-school gameplay”; it only creates inconsistency.
If hotkeys are enabled:
- Players who prefer mouse clicking can still click.
- Players who want hotkeys can use them.
- Nobody is forced into anything.
Right now, the system is just dishonest. A lot of high-level players in f.e. Legacy cheat and use external tools or scripts, while others are expected to handicap themselves “for fairness.” and can't even transfer in the future. This is pure gatekeeping of an unfair advantage, not real balance.
Just enable hotkeys for everyone and stop pretending that restricting them preserves 7.4 gameplay. The game has evolved, the controls should have evolved with it.
